Secret Service Inspector admits destroying documents

When reading the article " Secret Service Inspector admits destroying documents" ( http://www.statesman.com/blogs/content/shared-blogs/washington/secrecy/ ) by Rebecca Carr, the words "can you really do that?" come to my mind.
A Secret Service inspector admitted "destroying original evidence sought in a long-standing lawsuit alleging that the service routinely discriminates against African American agents." She said she had placed the documents in a "burn bag" just two days before her testifying in court. Even the judge is shocked that the Secret Service would go so low. But i, for one, am not shocked. The Secret Service, i feel, is seriously doing no good for anyone. Why should doing something including this Nation be a secret? I would love to know when people destroy documents and when my Government is about to make a serious move for or against our Nations well being.
The article is trying to tell us that there are things our Government does that are so wrong and most of us know nothing about it. It shows us how the Government is really picking and choosing how we run as a Nation and choosing how us as Americans should live. We should be more informed about the mistakes and frauds our Government plays against us. I mean doesn't the people who work in the Government people just like us or are they just programed machines with no logic or brains to back up their reasoning's and high paying positions. Its not right to be prejudice against one race or group of people just because they don't make our Nation "ideal".
The case is still going on as you are reading this.

Longer Than Expected

Hello all internet readers. So apparently, the race to run for the white house is still going on. I picked an article from the Washington Post called "The Race After Tuesday". The article tells us that in the end of Tuesdays tallies, it was a surprise for both the Democrats and the Republicans. For the Republican side, John McCain won most of the votes in Tuesdays election and because of the Republicans way of who gets to be the official run for office it's an easier decision. The most votes wins. But for the Democratic side, Tuesday was a day of confusion. Hillary kept at a close lead with 823 delegates and Obama was in a close second with 741 delegates. Thats only a difference of 82 delegates votes. Hillary plans on winning over the Hispanic population in California while Obama is hoping to have gained the love of the African American voters.

This article tells you what the outcome of Tuesdays votes had to say about what the American people want to see in office. Personally, I just wish there was an easier way to do this. Why couldn't all 50 states just vote at the same time and then we tally votes that way? I feel it would be a lot easier and then we would quickly find out who could be our next president.
